  • Autoimmune hepatitis( AIH) is a liver inflammatory disease mediated by autoimmune response and may progress to liver failure and liver cirrhosis without treatment. The goal of AIH treatment is to achieve biochemical remission and histological remission. Currently immunosuppressant therapy is the standard therapy for AIH,i. e.,prednisone/prednisolone alone or combined with azathioprine. For the patients who do not tolerate or have poor response to the standard therapy,second-line treatment regimen,including mycophenolate mofetil,can be considered. Recent studies have shown that various factors participate in the development and progression of AIH,such as immune function,gut microbiota,vitamin D,and mental state,which may become the potential therapeutic targets for AIH. This article reviews related studies on the standard therapies for AIH and highlights the potential therapeutic targets for AIH treatment.
